Happy Fourth of July Craftyness...

My best friend and I decided on a whim while in town the other day to do something crafty! These turned out so great! I love my country and what a fun way to celebrate that!

It's Show Time!

Nathaniel was outside playing one morning and pulled out all our camp chairs, old car seats, and a bench out under the old apple tree...

He came in and announced....There will be a show and 9:30....please come!
He is my creative boy!

Check out this cool machine!

I want one! They can do so many neat things! What fun it would be! It plugs into your computer and you can download a whole bunch of fun things to cut out! I would LOVE one!

Happy Father's Day!

I would like to tell my Dad how much he means to me!
You have taught me so much!
I am lucky to be your little girl!
I love the silly little jokes you tell...they still make me giggle!
Thank you so much for being the father that you are!
I Love You!


And to my dear sweet husband!
Where would I be without you?
I would be lost!
I am so thankful for you and the father that you are to our boys!
We are so blessed to have you in our lives!
Thanks for being amazing!
I Love You!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATHANIEL!!

9 years ago I held you in my arms
and we started this beautiful JOURNEY together!
I LOVE you more than I ever thought possible!

I can't believe that it has been 9 years already! Life has gone by way too quickly!

I LOVE YOU NATHANIEL!!
How COOL are these cupcakes...
I made them because
when you ask Nathaniel what his favorite color is he always replies
"ALL OF THEM!"


It looks like he had to get a running start to blow out all NINE candles!

It's a TREASURE HUNT MATEYS!

At each stop they all had to complete a certain piratey task to get the next clue!
ARG!!
